Failed RAID...

If you have already tried to rebuild your RAID, but still can't access your data, you should stop now. These are the three most common 'do-it-yourself' failures which companies like yours experience when attempting to restore a corrupted RAID array:

Swapping the order of the hard drives. This will only increase the risk that the parity and striping is overwritten which then makes it almost impossible to recover the data.

Forcing a rebuild. This will only increase the odds that your data loss is permanent. These types of RAID failures require specialized training, software and equipment.

Off the shelf recovery software.
Even if you are using RAID utilities or recovery software, unless you are experienced with the nuances of a performing a RAID server data recovery and have successfully restored data or rebuilt arrays, these RAID repair software packages can potentially cause more damage.

Permanent data loss often occurs when multiple hard drives in a RAID are swapped, moved from one position to another, or placed in other RAID servers in an attempt to rebuild or repair the original RAID array.

To reduce the chances that your data is completely lost, you will need professional RAID recovery services. A RAID data recovery specialist should have thorough knowledge of RAID configurations, drive structures, MFT mount points, HEX, and offsets to avoid destroying data while attempting a recovery.

The safest thing you could do at this point is contact a RAID recovery specialist to have an image of the hard drive made, evaluate the damage and begin the process to recover data from the hard drive.

We recover critical data from SQL servers, Exchange servers, and complex RAID arrays for businesses, colleges, healthcare organizations, and government entities in San Antonio and across the United States.

Our advanced RAID Recovery lab regularly recovers RAID data for businesses in Texas. Call to make arrangements to get your RAID hard drives and storage devices to our lab so your files can be recovered as quickly as possible.

Common RAID Failures...

Other factors that could cause a RAID array to become inaccessible could include: damage to the RAID stripe or parity, a broken RAID array, a failed hard drive, a power failure, a back-up that may have been restored unsuccessfully, malicious human intervention, failed system updates or OS upgrades, viruses, or a boot drive failure.

RAID data recovery procedures involve determining the damage, source of the problem, and how much data can be extracted. For serious failures, this may involve careful disassembly and extensive manual repair in our clean room. Our lab supports all RAID versions and operating systems.

Advanced RAID Recovery for Texas Companies...

Repairing and recovering a RAID when one or more RAID hard drives is
making a clicking noise, goes offline, fails, or their status shows the RAID
is in degraded mode, requires specialized training and equipment to avoid corrupting your files. If you
have already tried to rebuild your RAID but still can't access your data, you
should stop now. Forcing a rebuild will only increase the odds that your data
loss is permanent.

Do not try re-order the hard drives in the RAID array hoping that swapping
the hard drives around will correct the problem. This is especially true when
multiple drives fail in the RAID. Swapping hard drives around will only increase
the risk that the parity and striping is overwritten which then makes it almost
impossible to recover the data. Permanent data loss often occurs when hard
drives are swapped, moved from one position to another or placed in other
machines in an attempt to rebuild or repair the array.

Regardless of which hard drive brand you own or RAID configuration you are using, it is just a matter of time before you will need data recovery. Hard drive data recovery for a RAID is required for a variety of reasons; data loss due to
a virus, hard drive recovery due to natural disasters, data restoration for physically damaged hard drives, corrupted operation system upgrades have been known to cause a hard drive failure, formatting of a hard drive, a hard drive clicking, as well as multiple hard drives failures in a RAID array.

The safest thing you could do at this point is contact a RAID recovery specialist to evaluate the damage and begin the process to recover data from the hard drive. To reduce the chances that your data is completely lost, you will need professional RAID recovery services. A RAID data recovery specialist should have thorough knowledge of drive structures, MFT mount points, HEX, and offsets to avoid destroying data while attempting a recovery.

Common RAID Server Failures And Data Loss Issues...

Adding incompatible hard drives to the RAID array

Hardware conflicts with the hard drive and server

Software corruption to the operating system

A virus infection, software and operating system upgrades

RAID controller failure or configuration changed

Two or more hard drives fail or go offline

Server crashes and won't remount the array or volume(s)

Configuration becomes corrupt or damaged

These are three most common reasons for permanent data loss when RAID hard drives fail...
